My name is Hailey Caram and I am a junior at Old Dominion University (ODU) majoring in cybersecurity. I have been in the U.S. Navy for 4 years as a Cyber Warfare Technician specializing in defensive cyber operations. Throughout my time in the Navy, I have become a subject matter expert in endpoint analysis and have worked my way up to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) developer. Some of my short-term goals include graduating and getting CISSP certified. Long-term, I would like to get my master’s degree in project management and work in industrial cybersecurity. 

Through ODU, I am currently focusing on the intersection of cybersecurity, the social sciences, and society. I plan to explore how these sectors impact each other and how I can utilize these ideas in my current and future roles in cybersecurity.
